nfo

An .NFO main use is to contain information about a certian computer system. Users can save their computer specification as a .NFO and share with others - usually for technical support reasons.

It is also used with pirate software packages by groups such as 'Paradox' who consider an .nfo as a way of being elite. If opened in notepad, the file is a simple text file, usually containing an ASCII logo, the software piraters name and the serial number to the package.

Paradox: Yes! We use .NFO's ! Everyone knows we mean business!

nfo

Abbreviation for "info" or "information".

Text files that contain information have the extension of ".nfo", so that it's easier to distinguish what is contained within.

nfo

The .nfo file included with a pirated software package. Those in the know will open this with MS Notepad, as it is actually a plain text file. The nfo usually contains a pirate "crew"'s ascii art logo at the top, which bears a resemblance to raw code to the uninitiated, and gets mangled into gibberish if opened in anything other than Notepad.

Usually associated with: ISO, crew, rar, crack, keygen, rip, reg, courier, 0-day.

Q: "I opened the rar from the 0-day. Many thanks to the courier & crew for this one; glad it's not a big ISO. But where's the serial number? Or do I have to use a keygen to reg this rip?"

A: "Just open up the nfo, newbie. The cereal is in there."

Reference to the movie Aliens. In computer jargon means to reformat and reinstall a system, erasing any data, and hopefully, any problem with said system.

Dude, this system is totally hosed. We should just NFO it and start over.
